Connacht Nursing Knocks Ahead Of 'Quins Rematch

While the Connacht squad trained in the Galway sunshine on Tuesday ahead of their Heineken Cup round 2 clash with Harlequins, there were some injury concerns arising from the historic away win over Zebre.

Full-back Robbie Henshaw and centre Eoin Griffin both picked up knocks against Zebre and will continue to be assessed ahead of Friday's team announcement.

Ethienne Reynecke, David McSharry and George Naoupu are also suffering from a few knocks and bruises this week.

The fit-again Brian Murphy (centre), Eoin McKeon (back rower) and Thomas Anderson (back rower) will all be available for British & Irish Cup selection this weekend when Connacht Eagles take on Newcastle Falcons at Dubarry Park this Friday (kick-off 7.45pm).
